Bajaj has introduced a new range of Chetak electric scooters to the market, named Chetak 2901. Prices for this new series begin at Rs 95,998 (ex-showroom, Bangalore). Bookings are open at all 500 Chetak showrooms nationwide and on the brand’s official website, with deliveries beginning on June 15.
Placed below the Chetak Urbane, the Chetak 2901 acts as the entry-level model in Bajaj’s electric scooter range. Visually, it resembles the other two variants and is available in five color options: Red, White, Black, Lime Yellow, and Azure Blue.
During the launch event, Eric Vas, President of Urbanite at Bajaj Auto Ltd., remarked, “We are thrilled to begin shipments of the Chetak 2901 to our dealerships. The Chetak 2901 is designed, specified, and priced to attract customers who currently use petrol scooters, offering a full-size metal body electric scooter that competes with and exceeds petrol scooters without straining their budget.”
The Chetak 2901 is powered by a smaller 1.8kWh battery compared to the Chetak Urbane’s 2.9kWh battery. It offers a range of 123 km (ARAI) on a single charge and a top speed of 63 kmph, whereas the Urbane provides a range of 113 km and a top speed of 73 kmph.
In terms of features, the Chetak 2901 includes a colored digital console, alloy wheels, and Bluetooth connectivity. Customers can upgrade their scooter with the TecPac, which includes features like hill hold, reverse, sport and economy modes, call and music control, follow-me-home lights, and Bluetooth app connectivity.
